I've been a fan but not a regular follower of that channel for years. I think they just "celebrated" their 118th victim. The city put up an advanced detection and warning system and they still manage to get can opener collisions. Amazing. There are high-strength beams across the span to protect the trestle on both sides.
I rented a 22 foot bobtail in 1982 when we moved and I don't remember getting any training about clearances or a statement about my clearance height. They just handed me the keys and let me drive away. I wonder what these drivers get.
Probably not killed. The booster charge is extreme, sending the rocket and warhead down range at 120 m/s (394 f/s) and the concussion sent everything in the room flying and fragged the walls. The acceleration occurs in 6 ms and that is what initiates the rocket delay. Definitely an outdoor toy.
Deputy John Tolle has been ordered to undergo a 24-hour course of remedial training on aggressive dogs. Deputies have been instructed to make noise and bang on gates to ascertain whether dogs are on the property before approaching a fenced residence. My question is why isn't this covered in their training before they're given a badge and gun and let out on the streets. This officer couldn't even bother to say he was sorry to the owner. Totally sloppy police work.
Another complication occurs when you consider how many mods exist for which we no longer have source code. Most mods, I dare say virtually all mods, used a hard-coded constant FRAMETIME in g_local.h that defines the time the mod expects the tick rate to be. The mods would need to change this compile-time constant into a function that would get the frame time from the sv_fps variable. If you don't have the sources you'd have to hack the mods in very many places in the DLLs to handle this.
You can send data down the pipe more often but if the game isn't thinking faster you're only sending redundant data, smaller deltas or smaller packets. What's the point of sending 20 or 50 fps down the pipe when the game is only updating at 10 fps?
I'm not sure what you are asking. Can you explain in more detail? What are you trying to do? Which mod are you trying to do it with?
"variables" can mean cvars (console variables) or configstrings (strings the server can communicate to clients).
Cvars can be server only, or client only, or server-info that can be communicated to clients but are very much limited by what can be communicated in a single serverinfo frame.
Override files are used on server side, not clients. Entities are introduced by the server code into the maps and their placement is communicated to clients no matter which version client is used. No changes are needed in client code to support overrides.
I have been asked a couple of times now this year how to build r1q2ded-old but I don't have the answer. It's probably staring me in the face and I can build r1q2ded b8012 without much trouble but I'm not sure how to do it with the existing source. All the links in the readme.txt file are dead.
If it's possible to do it I'd like to document it here or in the TS repository for historical purposes.
If I understand you correctly, you want to play multiplayer mods with your sister who has a computer on the same LAN as you. (You are both in the same house.)
There are two ways to start a multiplayer server; listen and dedicated. The best approach is to use the command line to start a dedicated server, then connect to it with your client(s).
To launch a dedicated server in Windows, launch a cmd window, then navigate it to the folder containing your Quake 2 executables then type: quake2 +set dedicated 1 +set game modname +exec server.cfg Where "quake2" is the name of the executable. This can also be q2pro.exe or r1q2.exe since they have updates that make them more secure and more stable. Both of these executables have their advantages, q2pro starts a nice cmd window and r1q2 start a Windows window, separate from the cmd window that launched it. Personally, I prefer r1q2.
"modname" is the name of the mod you want to play, (e.g. ctf, fox, xatrix) "server.cfg" is the name of the configuration file located in the mod folder and it contains configuration values for the particular mod you are launching. Most mod installation kits come with a sample server.cfg file you can use as a starting point. The name of this file can vary. Do not mistake autoexec.cfg or config.cfg files as server startups, these are for clients.
The very last line of any server.cfg file must always be "gamemap mapname" for the first map the server will start. Use this line without the quotes, always use gamemap, not the map command, for servers.
An essential item for any private server like this should be to "set public 0" in the server.cfg to prevent the server from attempting to announce itself on master servers. A public server needs to be configured at your router firewall and this is another topic for another time.
Every mod has it's own banner or announcement that it's running correctly. Refer to the documentation on that mod for information about it. For example, TMG in CTF mode announces itself something like this: ==== InitGame (TMG 0.2.35 built Apr 6 2017) ====
=========================================== This game library contains the bot detection system developed by Doug 'RaVeN' Buckley. TMGBot 'Base' Bot code developed By Ponpoko Corrections, improvements and bug fixes by QwazyWabbit ===========================================
==== Wav Mod v.01 set up ==== ...
To test your server is running, type: status It will respond with something like this: map : q2dm1 num score ping name lastmsg ip address rate/pps ver --- ----- ---- --------------- ------- --------------------- -------- ---
Once you have the server running the mod correctly you can connect to it with your clients. You will need to know the IP address of the computer that is running the server. This will usually vary, most routers are configured to use dynamically assign IP addresses to computers on the LAN.
To find out your computer's IP address type "ipconfig" in a cmd window and get something that looks like this (From Windows 10): C:\Quake2>ipconfig
Notice the line I highlighted in yellow. This will be the IP address you want your sister to use to connect with in her client. You must have this information for any LAN client to connect to your game server. This address will vary depending on your wideband router and computer installations. You can disregard any IPv6 information, Q2 doesn't do IPv6.
If you are connecting your client to the server and your client is the same computer your life is much easier. The command is: connect localhost
You will both now be able to play the game you selected. Use Alt-Tab to toggle between your game window and your server console, you can command gamemap changes or other commands in the server console. Another method is via the game client console via the 'rcon' command and this requires you to have selected and set an rcon_password in your server.cfg.
Once you have connected clients a status command will respond with something like this: map : q2dm1 num score ping name lastmsg ip address rate/pps ver --- ----- ---- --------------- ------- --------------------- -------- --- 0 0 1 QwazyWabbit 0 127.0.0.1:17616 8.0K/ 9 35 1 0 1 Frag_Me 0 127.0.0.1:5972 8.0K/ 11 35
When you are done playing the game and have disconnected your clients, you can type quit in the server console to stop the server.
I'll try to test on my PC and on my Linux but I don't care much for gdb. I'm so old and experienced and spoiled with visual studio that I'm useless on gdb.
Regarding debugging, the makefile in that repo is pretty tight and seems to be geared for optimization and release more than development. Remove the -fvisibility=hidden switch in line 30 and I think you'll see more symbols in the debugger. In line 22, consider also changing -O2 to -Og to prevent compiler optimization from screwing up the debugger. Processors these days are fast enough that you shouldn't see performance problems and you can change it back to O2 for your active servers.
Segmentation faults usually mean you've dereferenced a NULL pointer (very common in Q2 code) or a pointer that's pointing to something it shouldn't. This usually means the function that faulted was passed a bad pointer when it was called and you can trace up the call stack to see which function called it. Whether that means you have defend against it in the callee or not pass the bad argument in the caller will depend on what you see in the debug.
Console says I cant load zboss.bsp Do I need some special mod to paly it?
It would have to be very special mod. As far as I can tell there is no such map as zboss.bsp. I have searched my entire collection of all mods and Google and came up empty.
zboss.bsp is the last map from zaero mission pack. tastyspleen wont allow her to download because its an official map
That also explains why I couldn't find it in searches since it's inside the pak.
